Description
Emanuella Brito and seven colleagues published an evaluation in two thousand twenty-four of ChatGPT as a patient education source on breast reduction surgery. The operation is common and relieves real burdens, but patients arrive with many questions. Whether chatbot answers are trustworthy was the concern.
Fifteen typical patient questions were put to ChatGPT. Five board-certified plastic surgeons graded each answer as appropriate, too thin, or inaccurate. Of seventy-five gradings, ninety-two percent called the answers accurate. Six responses worried the experts: four lacked needed detail and two were wrong. The authors say the tool is broadly reliable for basic education but not flawless. They advise professional oversight of AI patient materials.
